MOPWA052 | Short Range Wakefield Measurements of High Resolution RF Cavity Beam Position Monitors at ATF2 | 792 |
|
||
Cavity beam position monitors (CBPM) have been used in several accelerator facilities and are planned to be used in future accelerators and light sources. High position resolution up to tens of nanometres has been achieved, but short range wakefields are a concern, especially for small beam emittances. This paper presents the wakefield calculations as well as the first measurements of the CBPM-generated short range wakefields performed at the Accelerator Test Facility (ATF2). | ||
MOPWA053 | Sub-Micrometre Resolution Laserwire Transverse Beam Size Measurement System | 795 |
|
||
Funding: The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Commission under the FP7 Research Infrastructures project Eu-CARD, grant agreement no. 227579 We present the results from the laserwire system at the Accelerator Test Facility 2 (ATF2) during recent operation after relocation to the virtual image point of the ATF2 final focus. The characterisation of the 150 mJ, 77 ps long laser pulses at a scaled virtual interaction point is used to deconvolve the transverse laserwire profile demonstrating a 1.16 ± 0.06 um vertical electron beam profile. Horizontal laserwire scans were used in combination with the vertical scans to measure the electron beam size using a full overlap integral model due to the problems presented by a large aspect ratio electron beam. |

MOPWA058 | Cavity Beam Position Monitor at Interaction Point Region of Accelerator Test Facility 2 | 807 |
|
||
Nanometre resolution cavity beam position monitors (BPMs) have been developed to measure the beam position and linked to a feedback system control the beam position stability within few nanometres in the vertical direction at the focus, or interaction point (IP), of Accelerator Test Facility 2 (ATF2). In addition, for feedback applications a lower-Q and hence faster decay time system is desirable. Two IPBPMs have been installed inside of IP chamber at the ATF2 focus area. To measure the resolution of IPBPMs two additional C-band cavity BPMs have been installed one upstream and one downstream of the IP. One cavity BPM has been installed at an upstream image point of IP. The performance of the BPMs is discussed and the correlation between IP and image point positions is presented along with a discussion of using these BPMs for position stabilisation at the IP. | ||
TUPEA058 | The Conceptual Design of CLARA, A Novel FEL Test Facility for Ultrashort Pulse Generation | 1265 |
|
||
The conceptual design of CLARA, a novel FEL test facility focussed on the generation of ultrashort photon pulses with extreme levels of stability and synchronisation is described. The ultimate aim of CLARA is to experimentally demonstrate, for the first time, that sub-coherence length pulse generation with FELs is viable. The results will translate directly to existing and future X-Ray FELs, enabling them to generate attosecond pulses, thereby extending the science capabilities of these intense light sources. This paper will describe the design of CLARA, pointing out the flexible features that will be incorporated to allow multiple novel FEL schemes to be proven. | ||
